Live Coding Workshop

Contents

What?

This workshop will introduce the use of the cross platform, open source audio
programming language Supercollider. Its use as a live coding system will be explored after a short introduction to how musicians, scientists and artists use this environment in their work. SuperCollider will be compared with two other live coding systems, the ixi lang and Impromptu.

This 3 hour hands-on workshop will get participants started with audio synthesis in SuperCollider, use of patterns and the just-in-time live coding system.
